Mr.. f. NJ. Foster is excavatinR to erect
store building in North Asheville on
corner North Main and Chestnut etreets,
size 17x40 feet.
DR.. w. d. IIilliard and family now
occupy their new dwelling or Spruce
street which is one OF the most handsome
residences in the city.
The Adrance always puts its foot into
it. Mr. Jordan Stone has not gone to
California, but only to Alabama on four
days' trip, and will be home to night.
There are more guests at Battery Park
now than ever before at this season, and
the same is true Of the SwannAnoa and
other hotels and houses. The winter
promises to be an unusually prosper ous
one fr this section, III the way of visitors.
The President Of tho Western n. c.
Railroad recently had Mr. I. Z. Brown,
the AsheviIle photographer, eend him a
| large number Of vi=ws OF WeStern North
| Carolina scenes, which WeIe forwarded
to President and Mrs Cleveland. TLey
were very handsome, and were received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland with much
pleasure.
Our northern and northwestern fellow
countrymen-those who h&ye to flee the
freezes Of the North aud the frigidity of
John Sherman in the Northwest
should seek congenlal cline for the
winter in Western Carolina. The cold
waves which happen to reach Us some
times are always tempered by the warmth
Of Southern hospitality.
DIR. ]. n. Stephens was the executor 0i
the late John A. Wells. of Turkey Greek,
which fact he did not know until the
reading Of the will after the death Of the
testator. Some time before his death
Mr.. Wells impaired to Or. S. the secret
Ofthe burial of 3 sum Of money in Sc
Cluded place on the premises. The des-
ignatsd spot was searched fer and opened
! by the DoCtor, and tin box was found
which proved to contain $500 in silver
coin, mostly old Spanish pieces, of the
coinage of the last century.
The painful ignorance of the 4arance
always excuses it for the folly it constant
ly exhibits. Tc have faith in a system
or plan does not involve faith in all
the methods used TO carry j: into effect.
The CITlzEx had iull faith lnat the Plan
to bring the Swann1nla river over Beau
mont gap and utilizing it for city pur.
poses could be accomplished and made
permanent. That the water was not
turned into the city last summer was the
fault, or mistake possibly, of the Contrac'
tors and not OF the plan. By this mistake
the city suffered water famine for some
time. The contractors have since made
their work good. Whether it has cost
the city any more to make this good We
are not advised. ThcrN were many who
denied that the plan was practicable, and
complained aCcurding.y. The CITIZEN
was not one Of these. The CITIZEN did
complain of the failure cI :he works as
constructed, and, il the face Of frequent
and public chargcs that the contracts
could not COM pei the contractors to make
the works good called for their publicH
tion. Now these works have been madC
good, vindicates the plan and the con
tractors, and ought to be satisfactory tC
all Of our citizens. This ig not written
however, with any expectation that th'
Advance will understand the matter any
better than before. We only wish Nt
could hope 30.
